buildings and objects that have cultural heritage value to Opunake. This document is an information resource recognising and providing information on the identified buildings and objects. Methodology The Opunake Heritage Working Party was established to help prepare an initial list for consideration and to provide detailed local knowledge. The Opunake Heritage Working Party was made up of: Olive Armstrong Ian Stevenson Ann Murdoch Molly Harvey Merle Bakewell Dudley Morris John Norton Murray Dobin Chris Craig Others who assisted were: 1. Chris Cochran, Conservation Architect of Wellington who provided specialist advice (including completion of the evaluations) and inspiration throughout the process. 2. Bronwyn Allerby, Policy Planner at South Taranaki District Council, who began the process for Kaponga, Manaia, Opunake, Outer Hawera, Patea, Waverley, and continued with the Eltham process. 3. Tracey Coles, Policy Planner at South Taranaki District Council, who continued with the process to its completion; and 4. Carolyn Vercoe, a student from Waikato University who carried out research during the 1998- 99 summer holiday period. An initial list of buildings and objects was prepared for this inventory. Research was then carried out by the Opunake Heritage Working Party. The list was progressively reduced as evaluation established whether or not the building/object met the criteria for inclusion. This criteria is explained in the following section Criteria for Selection and Assessment. This inventory was amended and reprinted in June 2003 as a result of the review of the set of heritage inventories. New information and amendments may have been added to existing entries, and new buildings and objects may have been added to this document. Study Area The study area includes the township of Opunake. Criteria for Selection and Assessment Account has been taken whilst compiling the inventory of the need to be as representative as possible of all aspects of the history of the area, of all buildings and object types, and of all periods from first settlement up to the present day. The Historic Places Act 1993, section 23, lists 13 criteria for the assessment of historic places, and although these are not individually listed here, they are all (in slightly modified form) included in the criteria listed below. 3 Buildings and objects of cultural heritage value have been selected for inclusion (with expert assistance from Chris Cochran, Conservation Architect) in the inventory on the basis of the following criteria: Historic Whether the building reflects aspects of New Zealand or local history, and in respect to local history, whether it illustrates any of the themes of the development of the town, such as settlement

  • Unsettling a Settler Family's History in Aotearoa New Zealand
    genealogy Article A Tale of Two Stories: Unsettling a Settler Family’s History in Aotearoa New Zealand Richard Shaw Politics Programme, Massey University, PB 11 222 Palmerston North, New Zealand; [email protected]; Tel.: +64-27609-8603 Abstract: On the morning of the 5 November 1881, my great-grandfather stood alongside 1588 other military men, waiting to commence the invasion of Parihaka pa,¯ home to the great pacifist leaders Te Whiti o Rongomai and Tohu Kakahi¯ and their people. Having contributed to the military campaign against the pa,¯ he returned some years later as part of the agricultural campaign to complete the alienation of Taranaki iwi from their land in Aotearoa New Zealand. None of this detail appears in any of the stories I was raised with. I grew up Pakeh¯ a¯ (i.e., a descendant of people who came to Aotearoa from Europe as part of the process of colonisation) and so my stories tend to conform to orthodox settler narratives of ‘success, inevitability, and rights of belonging’. This article is an attempt to right that wrong. In it, I draw on insights from the critical family history literature to explain the nature, purposes and effects of the (non)narration of my great-grandfather’s participation in the military invasion of Parihaka in late 1881. On the basis of a more historically comprehensive and contextualised account of the acquisition of three family farms, I also explore how the control of land taken from others underpinned the creation of new settler subjectivities and created various forms of privilege that have flowed down through the generations.

  • Orimupiko 22 and the Haze of History1
    Orimupiko 22 and the Haze of History1 RACHEL BUCHANAN Certain types of chaotic events lure historians and readers. While giving birth is a chaotic, exceptional, creative event it is also a private, universal and prosaic one. While not all women will give birth, all men and women have been born. Wars and natural disasters, however, present a different order of chaos. They are destructive, exceptional and public. Wars and disasters rupture time. What once existed is no more. People die. Mountains collapse. Homes burn. Ships shatter. Villages empty. Residents flee. Roads split. Swamps rise. Forests fall. Some of these events are over in a flash. A dormant fault-line shudders, the earth shakes, buildings crack and crumble and collapse, people are crushed. Others, like wars, go on and on, spreading and intensifying the chaos, knifing time and splitting it apart. One of the jobs of the historian is to create a narrative that makes sense of disturbing events, either distant or more recent, and so bring order to chaos. Many relish this challenge. ‘Battles are notoriously difficult phenomena to reconstruct,’ warned James Belich in the introduction to the revisionist history of the New Zealand Wars that made his career.2 Belich responded by constructing a thematic ‘overview’ of events, one that necessarily erased the mess and confusion of so many bloody moments by concentrating on the motivations of leading individuals and broad categories of people: ‘Europeans’ and ‘Māori’. Another path focuses upon on chronology and so construct a before, during

Consequential amendments to other areas of the Plan may occur to ensure consistency throughout, when this has occurred the submitter number who originally requested the amendment has been referenced, however, cross referencing within the Officers report may be more complicated as the requested change may be from a different area of the Plan. Some minor and inconsequential changes have occurred. These have been identified in blue with new text being underlined and removed text being struck through. Minor and inconsequential amendments have been identified for the convenience of readers and have only occurred where necessary to improve the readability of Plan provisions, align language within the Plan, or to better express the intent of a provision.
